About this study

Official title: A Pilot Phase II Trial of Adjuvant Radiation Therapy "Sandwiched" Between Ifosfamide in Patients With Mixed Mesodermal Tumors

The optimal sequence and /or modality for adjuvant therapy in the management of Mixed Mesodermal Tumors (MMT) clearly remains to be established. The rationale for the protocol is to "sandwich" pelvic radiation with chemotherapy to decrease distant metastasis.

The proposed study will sandwich radiation between the two most active chemotherapeutic agents for MMT identified to date (ifosfamide/cisplatin). By doing so, we attempt to decrease both local and distant recurrence, which may translate into an improved progression free interval and possibly even extend survival.

Read the detailed description

Uterine sarcomas account for only 2-4% of uterine malignancies, yet they are responsible for 26% of uterine cancer deaths. Mixed mesodermal tumors (MMT), previously known as carcinosarcoma, are the most common of the uterine sarcomas in the United States. Prognosis for these patients is generally grim due to the propensity for early metastatic disease. Patterns of spread are by both hematogenous and lymphatic dissemination. It has been noted that 66% of patients with disease clinically confined to the uterus have nodal metastasis at the time of diagnosis. The majority of patients will die with both wide spread intra-abdominal and pelvic disease within two years of diagnosis.

Adjuvant pelvic radiation therapy has been advantageous in controlling local recurrence. One study reports 26% local recurrence in patients treated with surgery alone versus 14% recurrence in patients treated with surgery and adjuvant pelvic radiation. Although adjuvant radiation shows a benefit in improving local control, it has not been found to impact survival. This finding is likely attributed to the high incidence of distant metastasis (85%) known to occur with disease recurrence.

Multiple chemotherapeutic agents have been evaluated in the management of advanced, persistent or recurrent uterine MMT. Response to single agent therapy has been less than 35% with the most active agents identified being ifosfamide (response rate = 34.8%) and cisplatin (response rate 17.9%. The use of chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting has been explored as a means of attempting to impact the incidence of distant metastasis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    Ifosfamide 1.2gm/m2/day for 5 days. Mesna 400mg/IV bolus at each ifosfamide dosing followed by 1200mg IV divided in 3L / day x 5 days. Repeat q21 days x 3 cycles. After 3 cycles, RT. After RT, Ifosfamide 1.0gm/m2/day for 5 days. Mesna 333 mg/IV bolus at each ifosfamide dosing followed by 1000mg IV divided in 3L /day x 5 days. Repeat q21 days x 3 cycles.

  • Radiation TherapyDevice

    Also called Pelvic RT, Radiation

    Ifosfamide 1.2gm/m2/day for 5 days. Mesna 400mg/IV bolus at each ifosfamide dosing followed by 1200mg IV divided in 3L / day x 5 days. Repeat q21 days x 3 cycles. After 3 cycles, RT. After RT, Ifosfamide 1.0gm/m2/day for 5 days. Mesna 333 mg /IV bolus at each ifosfamide dosing followed by 1000mg IV divided in 3L /day x 5 days. Repeat q21 days x 3 cycles.

  • CisplatinDrug

    dosage is 20 mg/m2/day for 5 days, ever 3 weeks.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Ifosfamide with or without cisplatinExperimentalParticipants with surgically staged carcinosarcoma (CS) with no gross residual disease were initially administered ifosfamide (1.2 g/m2/day for 5 days) with cisplatin (20 mg/m2/day for 5 days) every 3 weeks for 3 cycles followed by pelvic external beam RT and brachytherapy followed by 3 additional cycles of ifosfamide (1.0 g/m2/day) with cisplatin with cisplatin (20 mg/m2/day for 5 days) evrey 3 weeks. cisplatin added toxicity without additional efficacy, so mid-study, cisplatin was eliminated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cycles With Hematologic Toxicities

    Out of 162 planned cycles, a total of 138 cycles (85%) were administered. Number of cycles during which participants with grades 3 and 4 experienced hematologic toxicities are reported. Most of the toxicities were self-limiting.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ifosfamide, Radiation Therapy and Cisplatin in people with Uterine Cancer, run by Montefiore Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cycles With Hematologic Toxicities (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00231842, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jan 2019.
